The President´s message: How can G-AP flourish?

It is argued that if we are going to grow as an organization we must develop a plurality of competing sub-societies each with its standards of excellence. There is not enough room in one "tent," "one tree," "one ladder" for membership to receive recognition for the different modes of achievement and success. G-AP is not URSI or the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) but a mix of scientists and engineers akin to the National Academy of Engineering and the NAS blended together with the EM radiation problems and goals of mankind as our common patrimony.
